Hello everyone I have just received my new Sky-watcher EQ5 Mount including the EQ5 PRO (SynScan) handset I'm now looking for a Power Source it is supplied with a car auxiliary plug, I have a 240-volt indoors plug which can be reduced down to 12-volt would using this type of power supply damage the mechanism of the Mount? if so has anyone any other recommendations to get a power supply thanks in anticipation.

Hi all last night I was invited to join my local Astronomy Club via a Zoom meeting because of Covid-19. Im led to believe that a Refractor Telescope would be ideal to view as well as taking photographs, so may I ask what's the view of the Lounge please, as I have mentioned on my profile I have not as yet purchased any equipment as yet, I'm waiting till the Club starts to meet up again so I can attend on one of there meetings and experience looking through various scopes, so in the mean time dose anyone have any opinions on any particular Scopes for me to look into in the mean time would be helpful thanks for reading. Regards Roger

Hi and hello everyone over the last few weeks I have spent a great deal of time searching the internet in search of information with regards to trying to obtain a little knowledge on Astronomy, whilst also deciding what I would like to achieve in a hopefully new hobby ie just to observe our nearest planets, or take if further by accompanying my hobby of photograph so taking steps into astrophotogrphy, I am attempting to join a local astronomy club, I have mede inquires with some of my friends and one of them gave me the Stargazer lounger's Site to try and gain more information on the subject, at the moment I have not as yet taken the plunge as at the moment its all a little confusing and my knowledge is still limeted ie what sort of Telescope I need to do this and that but I have to admit I'm finding to hole process fascinating, had the opportunity I of taking a look at this 10ins star finder Dobsonian I think an old model but as it was my first experience of looking at a telescope I was impressed thank you for reading this cheers. Just made contact with my local Astronomy Club, its my first step. Roger starfinder_reflecting_telescope.pdf
